Don't call fanboys Hamza and Yehat slackers. They're just way too smart for a job market that has beaten them down. But when old enemies from high school, an ex-CFL leg-breaker turned health food kingpin, a van full of mind-enslaving, thanatodelic drug dealers, and a mysterious Ethiopian woman named Sherem with a centuries-old secret crush them like the walls of a Death Star trash compactor, Hamza and Yehat have only two options: Be awesome. Or die.
